Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 11 December 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Climate Change Bill [HL].
Climate Change Bill [HL]
I am far from expert on this. On emissions trading, what does not count towards our UK target? The UK target is in place—whether it is 60 per cent or 80 per cent does not matter. The Secretary of State is duty bound to ensure that that takes place. So any business that wants to trade—whatever the costs, whatever the effect—would ensure that the trading would not count towards the UK targets.
